Our US Magazine partners R/C Car have the first pictures of the new Kyosho Stadium truck that was spotted in secret testing at one of the magazines local tracks in Southern California. The RT-5, as it is currently being called, is a 1/10 scale off-road electric stadium truck, which Kyosho reps stress is still highly pre-production and in full testing mode. The RT-5 is based upon Kyosho’s popular RB-5 electric buggy and in fact shares RB-5’s transmission and tranny ratio. The car, as you would expect has a longer chassis, longer suspension arms, and longer shocks than the RB-5 and the double-thick carbon-fibre shock towers seen in the photos are still undergoing testing with production versions perhaps being molded, fibre or carbon fibre. There is no official release date yet, but Kyosho will debut the RT-5 in mid-March at the Cactus Classic in Phoenix, Arizona, where a Kyosho engineer from Japan will join the team to help with further development.

Its nice to see more stadium trucks in development, hopefully a resurgence will happen soon! :clap:
My first decent r/c was a Tamiya Stadium Blitzer, which was so much fun I still have it after all these years, and I would love to get into racing trucks. Nowhere really seems to race them these days though :(

Nice not bad at all, kyosho nearly always make great models so im this this is aswell :clap: i love the clear gear case aswell. lukes got one of those :drool:

Double thickness carbon towers too, if the rest of the build is as strong as that it shouldbe bullet proof!! :thumbs_up:

class, i want one :machine_gun: :lol:

looks good eh, might be tempted to get this

Not really my thing....but I remember how well my blitzer beetle handled and suddenly I'm tempted!!! :lol: :thumbs_up:

Good to hear its not just me then :thumbs_up:
I'm very tempted to bring the Stadium Blitzer out of retirement for the Corby bash...
